Mine was in a similar state. I paid a local mechanic £1000 to weld it up. I supplied a new front end cut off a rust free shell and he patched up the rest. I do plenty of welding in my day to day life but i draw the line at welding rusty cars. It's not easy or fun!

To be fair, Busta and Bob, I certainly wouldn't recommend "just having a go" welding, but after a bit of proper training it's entirely do-able. I learnt at night school and worked on Minis back in the day. But in any case, as mentioned, I would definitely be looking to understand the state of the rest of the vehicle before paying someone to stitch it back together.

Just be careful. There are welders and there are welders. A bit of a patch clagged on with pigeon poo to pass an mot is not the same as the rot removed and refinishing invisibly. Price is not a good assessment for quality.
